Chapter 484 Yunnan
On the way back to Yongchang Mansion in Yunnan Province, Yang Yinglong almost fell off his horse while walking on the mountain road several times because his back was afraid of weak legs.

"Who would have thought that if Sigu was loyal to the court, he would actually have to tell a fortune-telling. What if his fortune-telling is wrong!"

Back at Yongchang Governor's Temporary Administration Office, Yang Yinglong never forgot to complain, "You don't know about it, but if something goes wrong, then Meng Yang has [-] soldiers, and even if Guan Yunchang is alive, I won't be able to come back!"

Wang Ning, the governor of Yunnan, is very old, and his political skills are not superb, and he knows nothing about military strategy.Fortunately, his official career was magnanimous, and he finally got the official position of governor of Yunnan when he got old, but he caught up with the momentum of the imperial court to use troops against Burma, and he couldn't do anything about it.

Seeing that Yang Yinglong had come back without disgrace to his mission, the old man raised his beard and wanted to be happy, and regardless of Yang Yinglong's fearful appearance, he raised his hand and said hello three times: "It's all good, it's best if you don't have anything to do!"

As for Yang Yinglong asking him what to do in the future, he didn't know what to do, and he said something like "the chieftain is in front of him, and the reckless thief can't do it." Obviously, the governor of Yunnan had already thought that there was nothing wrong on the eve of the big war. Woe.

The importance of three propagandas and six comforts to the frontier of Yunnan is not noticed by the elderly at all. The mere change of mind of the two chieftains makes the governor feel as proud and happy as if he has regained the lost land.

Yang Yinglong bowed below, while lowering his head while others couldn't see him, he pouted and said in his heart: It's a virtue to be with the chief official of Sichuan!
He felt that this battle was completely forced by his brother-in-law. Let alone ordinary officials, even important officials like the governor, not to mention the three propagandas and six consolations in the foreign regions of the Southwest, even if the chieftains of Sichuan and Guizhou attacked each other and merged, so what?
The officials of the imperial court didn't regard those places as their own land and the people under their own rule.
As long as these chief officials change a little bit of behavior of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, those chieftains will not dare to obey others, but if they are a little bit like their brother-in-law, they know equality and treat chieftains as individuals. Dare not rebel.

There will be no one like our chieftain Yang, who was wronged under the nose of the provincial officials during the day, and secretly weighed the combat effectiveness of the chieftain soldiers and the provincial soldiers before going to bed at night, and laughed at these weak chickens from the bottom of his heart to get enough satisfaction Only then can I fall asleep peacefully.

But Yang Yinglong will not expect anything more—Yunnan, this is a place of exile, and the great talent Yang Shen died in Yongchang Mansion.

To be sent to such a miserable place by the imperial court, there must be a reason for being sent here. Obviously, Yang Yinglong has already found out the reason why Wang Ning was sent here.

Although Governor Wang Ning doesn't understand military affairs, there is another person in the hall. This person has led troops for several years, knows military affairs quite well, and is also a famous scholar named Luo Rufang.

Luo Rufang is also old. He studied under Yan Jun of the Taizhou School. In the 22nd year of Jiajing, he took the exam and devoted himself to studying for ten years. He participated in the palace examination in the 32nd year and was born as a Jinshi. The magistrates have made outstanding achievements in government and education.

In the past seven years of Longqing's Yunnan, he served as the deputy inspector of Yunnan Road, assigned duties to guard Yongchang, and began to lead troops.

Luo Rufang was not the best official like Wang Ning, who was so kind and safe. He found the key points in Yang Yinglong's words, asked the governor for instructions, and asked Yang Yinglong, "General Yang wants to lead the Bozhou army into Mengyang. Why not stay in Yongchang and wait?" If the Burmese army enters the bandits, they will rush to help them."

The governor Wang Ning, who was confused, listened attentively, quickly said yes, called Yang Yinglong to sit down and said: "It's better for this strong general to guard Yongchang. As long as Yongchang is not lost, everything will be safe!"

As for the three announcements and six comforts, what do they do?

"What Deputy Envoy Luo said was that there are many borders on the way for the Burmese army to enter the bandits, but there are two important ones, one is Longchuan and the other is Mengyang. Now that the mang bandit has surrendered Longchuan, I guess he will come sooner if he dares to come. , his next step must be Meng Yang."

The words of the two immediate bosses made Yang Yinglong very desperate.

Luo Rufang is better, he is starting from the perspective of military support, it is naturally more convenient to send troops from Yongchang Mansion than passing through Yongchang Mansion from other places and then diverting.

Wang Ning's opinion really makes people despair.

If I want to change to a well-behaved chieftain, I will keep quiet for a while, but Yang Yinglong can't do it. He has a wild dog in his heart, and the things he says are all nonsense that he doesn't believe in. What he always thinks about is to continue his tradition of broadcasting the state of Yang's army—listen Level the chaos and loot the place!

After all, the Bozhou army has traveled so far, even if it is transferred by brother-in-law, Yang Yinglong can't let him pay for the troops, right?What can I do if I can't beat Chen Mu if I ask for it?
Let whoever hits pay for it!
Chieftain soldiers are different from other soldiers. Others are afraid of the death of soldiers, but Yang Yinglong is not afraid, he is only afraid that there will be no battle and no place to rob.

This is all up to these two immediate superiors. If they stay in Yongchang for a year or so without sending troops, Yang Yinglong will have to pay for the military expenses alone. He is not willing to pay for this money.

Before he could think of something good to say, the governor Wang Ning had already opened his mouth and said, "This old man knows that General Yang is dedicated to the public, and this statement does not mean to blame the general for killing the Burmese envoy—but for the mere Meng Isn't it worthwhile to raise and annoy Mang Yinglong?"

No, not worth it?
Hearing Luo Rufang coughing continuously, Wang Ning realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and laughed with a bit of embarrassment and indifference.

For a while, he completely regarded Yang Yinglong as a general of the imperial court, not a chieftain, and it was indeed a bit embarrassing to discuss the matter of selling the chieftain in front of the chieftain.

Yang Yinglong is very smart, he clasped his hands solemnly and said: "Your Majesty Futai is dedicated to serving the country, and Yang believes it! We and the people of Ming Dynasty, as long as it is beneficial to the imperial court, let alone Mengyang is not worth it, even if Bozhou is not worthwhile to the imperial court, throw it away." It doesn't matter what happens!"

"The general is dedicated to the country!"

Wang Ning's embarrassment disappeared, he got up and bowed his hands solemnly, then sat down and looked at Yang Yinglong's fair face, the more he admired it, he simply said: "Actually, not only does this old man think this way, even Mr. Zhang Ge's letter earlier said this. "

"Three declarations and six consolations are a poor country and a foreign land. The land cannot be cultivated, and the people cannot be used. It is useless to waste money and resources, and it is useless to make innocent people feel confused. Therefore, when the situation is stable, I have to strictly prohibit the military and guards from being responsible. Greed for petty gains and petty grievances to stir up the barbarians."

Wang Ning may not be very intelligent, but she is absolutely honest and responsible in this regard, and she believes in the first assistant letter like a heavenly book, saying: "Ge Lao also said that the three commanders are allied to the south, and when Yunnan is empty, we must restrain the army. "

"Just yesterday, the prefect of Yao'an, Li Zhi, who delivered the military rations, sent a letter to the old man saying that he admired farming and warfare. The army and soldiers in the mansion have been mobilized to fight Mang Yinglong. Isn't this nonsense!"

Li Zhi and Yang Yinglong knew that the descendants of the great merchants in Quanzhou had the surname Lin, but later changed their surname to avoid misfortune. When he led troops into Yunnan, he passed by Yao An, and he knew this magistrate who spoke wildly.

Seeing Wang Ning uttering Zhang Juzheng's words, Yang Yinglong didn't dare to refute, nodded and said nothing more, and cast his eyes on Luo Rufang, another group of Yunnan officials, he also knew why he came here.

Taizhou school, disciples of mind learning.

"In my opinion, it's better for General Yang to lead his troops to move to the Shenhu Pass. In this way, if Meng Yang has something to do, you will be the prophet, and Longchuan will be able to rush to help when there is a military problem."

Luo Rufang did not participate in Wang Ning's discussion. Although he was speaking to Yang Yinglong, he was actually waiting for Wang Ning to make a decision, and asked, "What do you think?"

　Good morning!
